  • This model can be found in an advertisement from 1933 (see pictures), detailing the use of Magnavox, or Rola or Jensen (spelled incorrectly as "Gensen") speakers, as well as the use of "Multivoltimetrica" resistance cords for it.

    The model was made with Spanish components, and originally equipped with "ROYAM tubes". It was also sold by Bolsa de la Radio in Madrid.

    For the documentation of the manufacturer, this model exists twice: under the Radio-Royam brand as well as under RCA USA (likely the actual maker) - with a slightly different cabinet.
